I currently have a GTX560Ti which was an upgrade from a GTX260. I love my new card. Absolutely awesome for every game I play. I run a Q6600 Quad Core processor with 8 gigs of DDR3 RAM. Not sure of the speed. My current bottleneck is my HDD. 7200 RPM just isn't enough anymore. I plan to purchase a 60gig SSD for my OS as well as a 250gig SSD for games in the future. Ill stick to using a 7200 RPM 1.5TB drive for storage.

I use the Hierarchy Chart from Tom's Hardware for video card comparisons. They are pretty solid when it comes to PC hardware.

Runs just fine on medium settings. I've run one account on each monitor but only for the occasional trade/contract (I don't like splitting attention).I may have come here from Myst Online, but that does not make me any less bloodthirsty than the average Eve player.

I have 0 issues with any eve content until I try multiboxing. Then I need to either minimize clients or reduce settings, and even then, its only when zoomed in on models or CQ. As always, when engaged in GPU intensive eve content, reduce settings and hide brackets. None of my stuff is OC'd."How do you kill that which has no life?"

Which manufacturer is making the best cards out of the GTX 5 series GPU?

I like EVGA for longevity, my old 7300GS lasted 7 yrs still works actually. Every other manufacturer averaged about a years life. Just my opinion, should mention I never bought top of the line GPU's so heat wasnt an issue the other cards were just junk imo. I'm sure alot has changed in the last 10 years though, but I trust only EVGA.

On another note, the GTX 560 has I think 2x the capability as the GTX 550 seems to me there pushin too much performance out of them which is why I went with the 550. Half the performance should double the lifespan but im sure I'm totally wrong about that. Just a hunch I have lol.I recall one night in a nightclub called the matrix, there I was... Mother of god there I am! Holy f**k.

It runs eve great with 60fps on all high settings with fraps recording.I travel a lot so the mobility is preferred over a more powerful stationary rig. First few things I did was upgrade to 8gb of RAM and buy a cooling pad and I couldn't be happier with it.Oderint Dum Metuant

I used to play eve on a XFX GeForce 9800 GT

I miss that card very much. but it died b/c I got lazy for a while and didnt open up my case to dust it... and the fan got too dirty and stopped working.. and the card melted......Can't. Tell. If ...Troll? Or Serious....

Do NOT buy laptop with dual graphics card to play games. My drivers are over year old and there is no newer update. (Drivers from ATI don't work on dual card laptops, so I need to wait if HP ever creates updated drivers for this model.)

Other than one nasty bug in graphics drivers (when I alt-tab away from EVE, screen is darkened and I need to do ctrl-alt-del + ESC to fix it) EVE works nicely, even triple-boxing with 2 clients on stations and 3rd in space.

Recently (October 2011) built myself a new rig, primarily for Eve, intention being that it will be Eve capable to circa 3 years. Its awesome. Went Intel last time, so this time was a turn for AMD.

rofl I have a radeon 4650 an it works fine for EVEGoons; infiltration at its best - first bob... now ccp itself. They dont realize you guys dot take this as "just a game". Bring it down guys, we're rooting for you.

I haven't over-clocked anything, but considering doing that soon. I run 3 clients on max graphics (2 windows split-screened on one monitor, and one maxed window on the other). No problems to speak of other than a my ships sometimes warping sideways

I'm very pleased with my set-up. Drives the missus crazy with the amount of money I've poured into it, but meh. I almost bought the new GTX680, but considering it's going to be a mid-ranged graphics card of the new Kepler generation I decided it's currently way over-priced. Plus, the 570 is more than enough for this game at the moment

I'm minmatar, am i allowed to post here since I use t2 ductape and recycled parts from the jita trashcan(yes it exists where else do you think all your **** goes)I dont post often, but when I do i'm probably trolling you

Eve runs in Windowed mode on one Screen, Browsers, Chat, etc. on the others. Didn't try multiboxing yet, but i guess 3 instances should run fine.On a related note: Sucks that i can only select 1920x1200 or 5760x2440 as my window resolution. Would love to stretch eve over two of the big screens...

Card is OBV bad... no card just turns the screen black because it is "too slow"

Wants to build an amd rig (rofl fail) around a old as **** board (fail again)

Whole OP is full of wrong info rofl... never knew that you could run out of VRAM because of a slow GPU (rofl)

I fail to see how people posting rigs will = best for you...

Really simple here

z68 board... asrock ~1202500k8-16gig ramWD black, SSD if you want to brag your PC boots up in 30secAMD vid card if you want driver issues... nvidia if you want it to work...560/570new 6xx when they landNAME BRAND PSU

Done...

Amd is a waste of money (go google NO site will recommened them because intel beats them at all price points)

and amd is just as good as nvidea i never had problems with amd and fyi my 6970's are better than my gtx 570 even thou they are supposed to on par with each other

if anybody wants advice from somebody that has and does use both brands, nvidea seems to be faster than amd but when under heavy load ie 5 eve clients on max settings the amd cards perform better however when using a single client nvidea is better

And when i upgrade i will be buying 7970 over a 680.

and as for amd v intel

intel wins for me everytimeInappropriate signature removed. Spitfire

^^ my sig was awesome that naugty spitfire stole it for himself true story

(Edit: This thread is in part for me to get and idea of best parts to build my new computer)This may have been done. Sorry. Probably has, but It seems we need a change of pace from the people who just can't let Mittani Gate go...

So, Post up your rigs.... what do you play on? Any compatibility issues with your setup and EVE? Give us some fixes. Or just brag that your computer is uber leet to the max or what not.

I have come to the realization that my computer has to be one of the worst setups in EVE. I honestly don't know how my computer runs the game... Let alone dual box when I do...

-XP Pro-Pentium 4-2 gig DDR PC3200-Radeon HD 4600 series <--- DONT GET THIS PIECE OF **** IF YOU NEED TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN BROWSE THE INTERNET as It hardly can load 720 videos.- 2x displays 1366x768 and 1280x1024

I run all settings on low. Brackets off. Turret/Missile/Effects on my main, off on my alt.

My GPU memory speed is horrendous... its embarrassing... Its over clocked and still under 1ghz.. It has 1G on the card and still runs out of ram b/c its so slow.. The most common reason I have to reboot is because my video card shuts off. I will be in fleet talking to corp-members and my monitors go black. Game still running, still talking to corp members... "Ahh crap, card died again, gotta re-boot brb..."

AMD's line of processors are nice if you want to tweak because you can get overclockable chips all the way down to the cheap ones. Though Intel did knock one out of the park with the new i5 series, cant deny it even though I use AMD.
